When reporting for jury duty, it is important to dress appropriately. Business attire is suggested, and jurors should avoid wearing tank tops, shorts, bare midriffs, strapless dresses, flip-flop sandals, or bare feet. Comfortable but appropriate business-like clothing is generally acceptable. Jurors may bring books, magazines, or study material, but electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops are not permitted in the courthouse. Liquids are only permitted through security with a tightly sealed lid. Some courthouses allow jurors to bring food, water, and snacks. It is important to note that knives, scissors, handwork needles, crochet hooks, metal nail files, screwdrivers, tools, wallet chains, handcuff keys, or any item that may be used as a weapon are not allowed in the courthouse. When entering any court facility, jurors may be screened through a security device.
